I usually browse the Amazon 100 list. Usually I’m not too surprised at what is on there, but every few weeks they throw something out that I just can’t believe is selling, and I wonder if someone is paying to have it included. This week:
The Nephilim You can’t even get it for 10-12 days. Does it show up on your Amazon top 100? Or have I been browsing some books that are way out there and is Amazon targeting me with this?
It shows up at #18 on my list. I wonder, though, if that wasn’t influenced by the fact that it was the most recent item I’d looked at (because I clicked on the link in the OP)? Somehow I doubt it, but I don’t know.
I’ve never heard of the book before you mentioned it here, but it looks like some whacked-out Christian Fiction. It’s probably being advance ordered in bulk by Left Behind types.
Well, the book’s page on Amazon isn’t working now. You just get a blank page. But I looked it up on Barnes and Noble’s site and it’s sales rank there is 118. Not as high as it is on Amazon, but still pretty high.
Interesting. I have been secretly accusing them of targeting. Based on your response, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
I still can’t believe that this book belongs in the top 20, and now I have to suspect that they accept bribes to position a book. Wasn’t that illegal in the music industry?
